Mycena capillaripes

Twin Harbors State Park, Washington

Pinkedge Bonnet
These bonnets may be scattered or fruit at times in vast miniature forests beneath pine, in this case Pinus contorta. They are one of several Mycenas with a distinct bleach odor. The caps are translucent-striate when moist, convex, or bell-shaped and may be umbonate. They are gray-brown, with a lighter margin that is entire or somewhat scalloped. The caps are striate, and may be sulcate or wrinkled in age. The gills are adnate, close to subdistant, pale gray-white, with a pinkish edge that is difficult to see without a hand lens. No other species with a bleachy odor is marginate. The rather fragile and hollow stipes are tallish, 5-6 cm, concolorous with the cap, paler towards the apex and somewhat pruinose. The spore deposit is white. Edibility is not known, but hardly worth considering.
